<h3>NAME</h3>
table_charset: list tables, their character sets and collations
<h3>TYPE</h3>
View

<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>

<p>A table is associated with a character set and a collation. 
Surprisingly, INFORMATION_SCHEMA's TABLES table only lists a table's collation, and neglects to provide with the character set.</p>

<p>A character set is easily deduced by given collation, since a collation relates to a single character set.</p>

<p><i>table_charset</i> provides this convenient connection.</p>

<h3>STRUCTURE</h3>
